Snake Oil?

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

I used to use Vpower petrol in my A5 and it made a bit of a difference. Tried Vpower diesel in my Evoque and it didnt appear to make any difference in either power or consumption. I might give the Nitro stuff a try if the price differnce is the same as vpower ie +7p/l

All we get on the Island is 'Diesel' and 'Petrol' no choice of brand, no supermarked discounts etc. My only choice is to avoid a few of the older outlets with 50+ year old tanks full of sludge.

RE: Anyone up for more expensive fuel ?

Filled up with this yesterday (always use premium fuel anyway) at my local station.

I have no idea if it makes a difference or not - I suspect as the marketing is intended for - it just makes me feel better. I noticed no performance improvement, but then have never really considered the Evoque as a performance vehicle in that sense.

It does continue to make a difference on the wallet Sad[/align]

RE: Anyone up for more expensive fuel ?

So, do we now have a choice of three grades at Shell stations: Basic, V Power and V Power Nitro? Or has Nitro replaced V Power?

RE: Anyone up for more expensive fuel ?

Probably might help the cleaning abilities on older cars, but newer cars shouldn't be suffering with any deposit build up yet hopefully so performance shouldn't be suffering anyway.
